I want to put some control arms on - what's the advantage to uppers AND lowers -vs- just putting lowers on? I'm starting to run low on cash and if the lowers only will do the trick I'll go with that - more money for my sub-frames. Also, at what point do I start worrying about ripping my torque boxes? Am I OK with street tires or should I weld them now?
